John Textor, owner of Olympique Lyonnais and Botafogo, is no stranger to tensions with Paris Saint-Germain these days. This time, he decided to launch a dig at DAZN as the head of the Brazilian club, which won the Brazilian championship and the Copa Libertadores (Champions League in this region) before facing PSG in the Club World Cup.
“We’ll be playing a small Paris team, a historic Atletico Madrid team and the Seattle Sounders. I’m really looking forward to it.”
Maybe Textor was trying to be funny, but you can’t really see him smiling in the clip. Was it really necessary to make such remarks? Perhaps Textor felt a little forgotten in France, where PSG are champions by a wide margin.
In any case, there’s no need for that in soccer. Nor is it necessary to launch the Club World Cup.
